You may have to pay filing fees to the SEC when you register certain types of securities, as indicated in the relevant securities registration forms.  Please see the EDGAR Filer Manual, Volume II, Section 4.5 (PDF), for more information about EDGAR forms that require a filing fee payment.

You pay filing fees through EDGAR.  Each filer who must pay filing fees has a filing fee account in EDGAR, and the filer is required to maintain its filing fee account.  See 17 C.F.R. 202.3a(d).  A filing fee account is also required for filers who will submit funds to the U.S. Treasury designated depository in anticipation of paying a filing fee. For additional information contact us at (202) 551-8989.
